Liu Wei and his entourage from the grass pavilion by the river, they desperately ran south, the scene was more embarrassed than it was, fortunately the Yanmen villagers who were with them had excellent foot strength, and they would not let the water thieves behind them catch up, but the whistle and curse from the water thieves behind them were endless, and everyone naturally did not dare to stop.

The sky is getting dark, and seeing that the sun is about to hide between the Yingshui, Liu Wei and the others have been running for a long time, until they can no longer hear the sound of those water thieves, so they slowly stopped, but most of them are tired of their legs and feet, and they gasp for breath, but since they escaped the pursuit of the water thieves, everyone finally smiled, only Liu Wei was pale, and without saying a word, he seemed to be a little demented.

The old man surnamed Zhang, who was entrusted by Tang Qi in advance, was named Zhang Guang, and he and another elder in his clan fled all the way to this place, and at this moment, seeing that the form had improved slightly, he stepped forward and asked Liu Wei in a whisper: "Your Highness, according to the orders of Tang Junhou, we should go south to meet with the Yang team, but now we are looking for a safe place to rest or rush overnight?" ”

Liu Wei slowly raised his head, glanced at Zhang Guang blankly, and muttered: "Zifeng didn't say that he wanted to block these thieves, how to ...... How is it...... Can these people chase these people here...... It's not ......".

Zhang Guang only said that Liu Wei would talk to him again, and hurriedly answered: "What is it? ”

Liu Wei trembled, stared at Zhang Guang's eyes and turned red, and said in a choked voice: "Isn't Zifeng a lonely person, and he has suffered an accident!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the sound of laughter and laughter around Shang Ziying stopped, everyone held their breath and stared, and they didn't dare to speak, Liu Wei tugged Zhang Guang's sleeve, and then said: "Zhang Gong, Zifeng is excellent in martial arts, if he doesn't die under the knife of these water thieves, do you say yes or no?" ”

"Yes...... It's ......" Zhang Guang hurriedly held Liu Wei's small hand, squatted down, and said in a harmonious voice: "There are many of these water thieves, although Tang Junhou is outstanding in martial arts, I am afraid that he will not be able to kill them all in a moment, so he left some of them out, so he let them run out, maybe ...... Maybe ......".

"Maybe what?" Liu Wei asked.

"Maybe these water thieves are just like us, just to deter Tang Junhou's martial arts, and they are just fleeing for their lives."

"Gong Zhang doesn't need to comfort me like this." When Liu Wei heard this, he took out the small hand that Zhang Guang held in his hand, shook his head and sighed: "I clearly heard those thieves shouting in their mouths, they wanted to capture and kill us, how could they flee for their lives?" ”

Zhang Guang was speechless, speechless for a while, but he didn't want Liu Wei to cry: "Why should I deceive myself, Zifeng is dead, this is not the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, how can there be one enemy and a hundred ......"

After that, Liu Wei ignored the reaction of the people around him, and went straight to a slightly high dirt slope next to the road and climbed to the top.

Everyone was puzzled, but they were worried about Liu Wei's safety, so they had to follow behind, and they all climbed to the top of the slope one by one.

Liu Wei pointed ahead and asked, "Is this to the north?" ”

"Yes." Zhang Guangqi took three steps forward, walked behind Liu Wei, and replied softly.

"Good." Liu Wei nodded, suddenly fell to his knees suddenly, knocked his head three times in a row, and said loudly: "Zifeng is good to go!" ”

When everyone saw this, although they didn't know why, they couldn't stand behind Liu Wei when they saw Liu Wei kneeling, so under Zhang Guang's silent greeting, all the old and young went north together, and they all knelt behind Liu Wei.

I only heard Liu argue and said: "Although you have only been with Zifeng and me for a few days, you all have the righteousness of comrades, and send one to Zifeng." ”

"No." Zhang Guang hurriedly agreed, took the lead in kowtowing, and shouted: "The military marquis is good to go." ”

The rest of the people acted as they were.

After the three-way bow, Liu Wei looked at the north, sighed, and finally stood up and said: "Zifeng sacrificed his life to save me, and the parting was even more pretentious, but to wait for me to return to Zhang Liao and Yang Gu camps, and I didn't think that my so-called conspiracy was a clever plan from beginning to end. ”

"Your Highness's dignity is the most brilliant trick in the world, and it is not enough for Your Highness to take the risk personally." Zhang Guang answered.

But he felt that this plan was inappropriate, but he did not refute it. Liu Wei shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I even put my life on the line for this, isn't it that in this world, life is so worthless?" ”

"That's ......" Zhang Guanggang was about to answer, but it stopped abruptly, shook his head slightly, and sighed silently.

Liu Wei didn't ask, and then turned to look back at the north, and for a while, the more than ten people on the high slope were like more than ten statues, and there was no sound.

Just when everyone was silent, a slightly immature voice suddenly whispered: "Is there a fire there?" ”

"Fire? ……”

"What fire? ……”

"Where is the fire? ……”

"It seems to be on the Yingshui!" Zhang Guang seemed to have noticed the firelight, and shouted in surprise: "Or the grass pavilion is on fire!" Or maybe those pirate ships are landed! ”

When Liu Wei heard this, he was suddenly startled, and said to himself: "Grass Pavilion? Pirate ship? How can it catch fire? Why is it on fire? However, according to the direction pointed by Zhang Guang, he saw that Yingying seemed to have fire.

It turned out that there was still a remnant sun at sunset, and these fires were separated by nearly three miles, but they were not real, but now there was no remnant sun, and the surroundings were pitch black, and these subtle fires finally became extremely dazzling!

Liu Wei was shocked and muttered, "It's fire!" It's really fire! ”

Seeing this, Zhang Guang hurriedly said: "Your Highness, it seems that Tang Junhou may not be dead!" ”

Liu Bian's eyes were bright, obviously excited, Zhang Guang took a step closer to Liu Bian's side, and then said: "Your Highness, think about it, since these water thieves are berthing next to this grass pavilion, then this dock must have been built for these thieves. ”

"Not bad!" Liu Wei nodded violently and said, "That's the plan!" ”

"That being the case, how can these thieves do things that self-destruct grass pavilions or even ships." Seeing that Liu Wei was extremely excited, Zhang Guang's face showed joy, and he said again: "It's because the old man thinks that this fire should be set by Tang Junhou." ”

"But there are nearly 100 people chasing and killing us!" Although Liu Wei also felt that Zhang Guang's inference was very reasonable, he couldn't understand why these nearly 100 water thieves bypassed Tang Qi to chase after him, so he asked.

"This ......" Zhang Guang froze when he heard this, shook his head in shame and sighed: "The key is that the old man really can't figure it out, but since Tang Junhou is not dead, what should His Highness do?" ”

"This fire must be abundant! Zi Fengding is still alive! Liu replied very decisively, and replied to Zhang Guangyan: "As for what the plan is, now that I know that Zifeng is still alive, I naturally want to go to the rescue!" ”

Zhang Guang said with a wry smile: "I can't wait for more than ten people, and I am an old and decrepit teenager, how can I be the opponent of these more than 100 water thieves, not to mention the intention of Tang Junhou, I also want us to take the opportunity to leave, so turning back, isn't it just in line with the intentions of these water thieves?" ”

Liu Wei let out a sigh of relief, looked directly at Zhang Guang, and said with a wry smile: "Zifeng gave up his life to save me, I have abandoned him once before, I am really sorry, and now I know that he is still alive, and I can't abandon him again no matter what." ”

"But ......."

Zhang Guanggang was about to argue, but Liu immediately interrupted: "Zhang Gongrong let me finish." ”

Liu Wei glanced around at everyone and said with a smile: "Zhang Gong and all of you Yanmen Xiangzi sacrificed their lives to support, Fang and Liu Wei escaped here, and survived. ”

After that, Liu Wei immediately knelt down and kowtowed to more than ten Yanmen villagers, including Zhang Guang.

Where did everyone dare to bow to the prince, they were all so frightened that their faces turned pale, and before Zhang Guang could order, they all knelt down in unison, and bowed back to Liu Wei.

Liu Wei did not refuse, after bowing down, he immediately got up and said to Zhang Guangyan, who knelt on the ground with his head and knelt on the ground: "Zhang Gong and the townsmen are looking for that Zhang Liao, I was panicked and lost my mind before, and now I think about it, since I am the prince, I feel that in the eyes of those water thieves, I must also be a strange commodity to live in, if I am alone, I may be able to live, and I will also have a reunion day." ”

After that, Liu Wei did not delay any longer, walked to Zhang Guang's side, leaned over and took off the ring head knife hanging from his waist, went down the dirt slope, and went all the way to the north.

As Zhang Guang expected, the water thieves of nearly 100 people did stop chasing and killing Liu Wei and his party because they inadvertently saw the fire next to Yingshui, and turned back and forth.

When the crowd arrived at the grass pavilion that had been burned into a big torch, they saw a nine-foot man holding a torch and burning the boat on the Yingshui River, which was undoubtedly Tang Qi.

But seeing the flames in the sky, seven or eight wooden boats seemed to have no possibility of preservation.

All the water thieves were stunned, they really didn't expect that this seemingly ordinary action of their own group would actually lose all their family assets, and in addition to grief and indignation, they all drew their swords one after another, and they were about to rush forward on the spot, stabbing this wicked man who set fire to the ship, and the thief leader still had some reason, which stopped everyone's behavior.

But seeing that the thief was the first to come out of the crowd, he shouted at Tang Qi: "Who are you, why did you destroy my ship and kill my countrymen!" ”

Tang Qi naturally noticed it, but although there were many thieves, he was not afraid, but he just looked at the crowd again and again, as if he was looking for something.

Seeing that Tang Qi didn't answer, a short and fat man suddenly sprang out of the water thieves, holding a halberd in each hand, and smashed it towards Tang Qi's door with a vertical leap, accompanied by a scolding in his mouth: "Lao Tzu unload one of your arms, see how rampant you are!" ”

Tang Qi was still speechless, and when the fat man was no more than three steps away from him, he suddenly turned sideways, and then flew up and kicked on the fat man's abdomen.

The fat man slashed the halberd with all his might, not only for Tang Qi to dodge and dodge, but he couldn't retract his strength, so he lost his center of gravity, so he was kicked sideways, and his body could no longer hold it, even with a muffled snort, he rolled sideways and rolled out five steps away, and fell to the ground.

In this way, all the water thieves thought that Tang Qi's martial arts were outstanding, how could they dare to take it lightly, and the sound of cursing stopped, among which the thief leader was even more angry, and hurriedly walked to the fat man's side, intending to prevent Tang Qi from chasing and killing, but seeing that Tang Qi had no intention of killing, he said solemnly: "What kind of enmity do my brothers have with Your Excellency, and you actually asked Your Excellency to do this to stop venting your anger?" ”

Tang Qi looked at the crowd for a moment, but he didn't see Liu Wei's figure, and then he said to the thief leader: "There is no grievance, let me ask you, can you take a ten-year-old child?" ”

The head of the thief heard that Tang Qi and his brother had no grudge, but this time it was burning the boat and killing people, but there was no explanation, and he asked about the whereabouts of a child, and the anger in his heart could no longer be endured, he suddenly pulled out the long knife on his waist, and shouted angrily: "That is the case, I have to take your head, so that I can comfort my brothers in the spirit of heaven!" ”

Tang Qi let out a sigh of relief, still disapproving, and asked again: "In this way, you really didn't get a ten-year-old child?" ”

"Even if you are ten or eight years old, since you are so fearless of life and death, I will fulfill you by waiting for this." After that, the thief leader gave an order, and nearly 100 water thieves came out with their blades, and they had already surrounded Tang Qi, and if they wanted to get out at this moment, it was no longer possible.

Who knew that Tang Qi was not afraid at all, and even showed a smile in his eyebrows, as if muttering to himself: "Brother Fengxian, my brother finally does not insult my Jiuyuan Ranger righteousness!" ”
